The story picks back up in the middle of the fight between Old King Thor and Galactus. In the midst of the fighting, Galactus berates Thor for failing humanity so many times, ultimately leading humanity to be extinguished, highlighting the doubts and misguided feelings that Thor himself had been struggling with all this time. Most definitely, this is a war on two fronts; the physical and psychological.

That said, the physical fight is nothing short of spectacular and brutal, as the two powerhouses go at it.

Hit for hit, the only definite outcome of a fight like this is planet Earth being wrecked beyond recognition.

Thor breaks Galactus' finger.

Galactus steps on Thor.

Thor hits Galactus in the stomach, causing him to vomit up the molten energies of previously devoured worlds.

Galactus retaliates by punching Thor so hard he crashes through Earth itself and lands on the moon on the other side, shattering it.

While each blow from Thor is evidently meant to be a killing blow, it is worth mentioning that Galactus is still far more powerful than Old King Thor, and is actually relishing the fact that as he stands on the precipice of consuming the planet that has been denied him all these years, he can work up an appetite and make bright and lasting memories of Earth's last moments.

The Present Day,

After spending nearly a month away saving the world from only gods-know-what with the Avengers, Thor returns to Broxton, Oklahoma hoping to have a little RnR.

But it is not to be.

As he comes close to the town, the air becomes thick with pollution and Thor realises that Roxxon had moved into his favorite town, bringing along with them their floating factories which spew thick smoke into the air, along with whatever else they pollute the place with.

Here we are made to understand how Dario planned to get back at Thor for what he did in the last issue. As explained by Agent Solomon, Roxxon was given permission by the Senate to move the floating factories over the town. Then the company began buying up everything try could in the town, forcing people to lose homes, jobs, and even out of retirement homes. It all comes to a head when the citizens begin to look to Thor for help with this unprecedented situation, as he takes off determined to crack some skulls.

Anticipating a violent response from the God of Thunder, Dario has trillions of dollars worth of weapons, jets, tanks and troops standing ready for Thor's arrival, and they don't do jack shit as Thor tears through them all like a hot knife through butter ( :joy: ). He only stops his rampage when Agent Solomon herself comes between him and the Roxxon soldiers, and Dario Agger takes advantage of the ceasefire to bring out his lawyers, who proceed to sue the God of Thunder for destroying Roxxon property and then begin working on getting restraining orders placed against Thor, preventing him from going anywhere near Roxxon property, which of course now includes Thor's beloved town of Broxxton.

I'll admit, it takes balls of uru to sue the Odinson

Back in the far future,

The fight between Thor and Galactus rages on, as the power they unleash causes stars to flicker and the earth to shake. Thor manages to topple the Planet Devourer momentarily and comes face to face with the skeletons of long dead humans, again driving home the point that he is quite literally risking his life for a planet and people that have been long dead.

Again, Galactus does not fail to hit Thor where it hurts and berate him for failing humanity which causes Thor to lower his guard for a second, which Galactus uses to his advantage and hits him with a blast so powerful that it launches Thor off the planet, leaving him floating unconscious in space for outside our solar system and away from the battle ground that Earth has become. With Thor out of the picture, Galactus is free to continue his preparations for devouring Earth.

Back in the present day,

Dario, not satisfied with his small victory against Thor so far, continues to court the idea of humiliating the god of Thunder. To carry out his plans, he hires Ulik the Troll, a longtime adversary of Thor, to do his bidding and to break a pesky god of Thunder.

Next time: "The Thunder God and the Troll"

And that's where we end part three folks! Be sure to stick around, because part four will be out before you know it. Until next time, White Hawk, out. :v:
